I start it, if I am monitoring syslog, I then see the wifi come up, it
connects to the known AP. BUT I do not get any graphical screen
showing anything at all. I know what it DOES show because I see
it all of the time when running Gnome, and at times have to use
it to connect to a new network, of course under Gnome it starts
automagicly. I will have to see what script I need to put it in to
start it when I am running OpenBox. I figured I would get some
sort of graphical screen to but I see nothing. My other stuff I use
all shows up, the browsers, Gkrellm, and all the other stuff I have
tried.
